Arkansas Traveler Heirloom Tomato

The Arkansas Traveler Heirloom is a delicous Southern Heirloom, among the worlds best tomatoes in the taste department. It's origins can be traced back to the Ozark mountains - late 1800s where it spread throughout the Southern USA and is now found in vegetable gardens across the continent.

Arkansas Traveler is prized not only for its taste , but its ability to produce high quality produce under adverse conditions. It is heat tolerant, somewhat drought tolerant and tolerant of high humidity. The tomatoes are described as being pink - but no tomato is actually pink, rose or light red is a better description. Other than blossom end rot - it is resistant to cracking and most diseases and a worthwhile addition to any vegetable garden.

A drawback I've noticed with this cultivar is that it frequently produces weak stems, so be sure to supply trellises, cages or adequate plant supports.
